Made for modern nights out, this Medium Dionysus shines at cocktail parties, gallery openings and festive dinners. The off‑white leather is punctuated by gold ‘Guccy’ stars for statement sparkle, while the sliding chain strap keeps it easy to wear. Finished with the signature tiger head closure, it elevates tailored looks and little black dresses alike.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Medium Dionysus Guccy Bag? A: With approximate dimensions of 29 × 22 × 5 cm and a two‑compartment interior divided by a central zipped pocket, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, and a few small cosmetics. It can accommodate a small tablet (around 8 inches), but it will not take A4 documents or most 11‑inch tablets. Capacity varies with how you pack—please refer to our Measurements for exact sizing.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The sliding chain strap offers two carries: about 20 cm drop when doubled for the shoulder and about 33 cm when worn long. On many frames, the Medium sits relatively high when worn crossbody.
Q: Is the chain strap comfortable and is the bag heavy? A: The Dionysus chain is substantial and gives the bag its signature look. Most find it comfortable over clothing, though the chain can feel weighty on bare shoulders during extended wear. Packing lighter helps if you prefer a more comfortable carry.
Q: What exactly is the ‘Guccy’ print? A: ‘Guccy’ was introduced in 2018 as a playful, 1980s arcade‑inspired take on the logo, using a SEGA‑style font with stars and a frame motif. This piece features the ecru/off‑white perforated leather version with metallic gold print.
Q: How is the interior laid out? A: The Medium Dionysus typically features a flap over two main compartments separated by a central zipped pocket, providing tidy organisation for daily essentials. Please see our photos for the exact layout of this piece.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap fastens with the signature Dionysus tiger‑head hardware, keeping the bag securely closed for day‑to‑day use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. For this piece, no extras are listed; it is sold as shown.
Q: How should I care for the leather and metallic print? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid oils, alcohol‑based cleaners, and prolonged exposure to direct light or rain. To preserve the metallic print, minimise friction against rough surfaces. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag with the chain tucked inside to prevent imprints.
Q: Is this bag authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts via multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, and stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
Q: Are there any condition notes I should be aware of? A: Very Good overall. A small stain is visible on one side edge; the lining shows some marks; the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review all images for the exact condition.
